The reading comprehension disorders represent one of the main factors responsible for failure at school. Their high incidence in the school population imposes the re-search of effective educational interventions for the answer to educational needs of students with reading comprehension deficits. The reflective thinking plays a signif-icant role in the metacognitive processes, which, in turn, results strongly related to the development of the reading comprehension. In this paper, the role of the reflec-tive thinking in the more effective metacognitive strategies is presented, and his implications for the educational intervention are discussed.
